Would this fall and break during a power hit? Does it need electricity to keep it suspended or is it just for the rotation?

It does take electricity to keep it suspended. You can rotate it gently when suspended, but be careful or it may become unstable, and if you are gentle about it it will still eventually slow to a stop. As for falling, whether due to becoming unstable from being hit, spinning to violently, or a power outage, the globe will fall onto the bottom part of the base, where it will stay via a permanent magnet until you suspend it again. No need to worry about it breaking or rolling away.

I don't know if it would fall and break during a power hit. We gave it as a gift. I do believe the electricity is for the suspension and rotation.

No, not that I've been able to figure out, but that's a safety feature so it doesn't cause damage to you if you drop or inadvertently twist it. Also I finally figured out my electrical issues and now have no problems with it.

Can't say for sure, since what I'm rotating is very light. But I just went over and tried to stop the motor with finger friction and I could do it, but with some effort. It has a lot of torque for a one-battery motor. It's also pretty robustly built, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could hang 5 or 10 lbs. from it. Remember it turns pretty slowly.

Yes. It's a smallish, flat, mercury cell looking thing. It lets you take it off the wall momentarily and not lose the settings. I guess it would do OK in a power failure.

It is not magnetic, it is mechanical in operation. The stop lever has two tabs that engage to hold the stop button closed. So the power will be off if the power is disconnected.

Mine has been spinning since i got it. It sometimes gets stuck with the magnet on top. Just give it a tap to get it going again. Dont know how it could break. No moving parts on the electrical side of things.

Yes, mine wobbles but has never fallen over. It charges fine and works great.

In addition to my previous answer, if you load it, it will take it down. You need a volt meter hooked up to it at all times.

NO!!! You have to charge it first and that takes a long time, but so you dont waste time and electricity, it probably will not leave the ground anyway. Buy something better.

Hi Dagov,Im away from home for three weeks, and I havent used it in a while. What I do recall is the tightening clamp had to be eased to allow the unit to rotate, which then left it somewhat unstable.

You need resistance for the impact to work properly, the drill should rotate smoothly, unless the battery is getting weak, then it will stop and start

yes but it's not meant to. This one is built vertically so any tremendous pressure will cause it to break if you lay it down.

I have one of these one a swing that the kids use. Highly recommended . Have had no problems with two kids in the swing spinning and swinging. The device says "45kN," which is 10,000 pounds of force. I don't know that I'd want to suspend a car from this thing, but nonetheless is pretty strong.

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Yes, it can handle normal shocks and movements. Of course, I would avoid dropping it or tossing it onto a table, etc., though it would probably survive an accident or two.

Yes, but you need to insure that the circuit you are plugged into can handle the load. If not, you will trip the breaker.

Yes,If you use ULTIMATE DYNAMOP.If you use the cheap DYNAMOP as shown on TV it will fall
